COLD SPRING HARBOR, NY — A junior at Cold Spring Harbor High School is providing young writers across the world an opportunity to let their perspectives be seen. Jessica Wang, 17, launched Ice Lolly Review, an online literary magazine, in August 2020. The name comes from her eye for writing that 'sticks' and comes in "different saccharine flavors and styles," she told Patch. Wang, who has been writing since seventh grade, said her magazine's mission is to uplift young voices. Ice Lolly Review, since its inception, has garnered more than 650 submissions from 28 different countries and 29 different U.S. states. Writers must be between 12 and 26 years old. The magazine is currently accepting submissions for its ninth issue through May 31. New issues come out every two months on the Ice Lolly Review website and feature roughly 20 stories each.
